Already asked but to make it clear: the other person had a TOTALLY different game so the code is different. Keep in mind I also want to make it so the higher the counter is the faster the enemy goes-I would like access to the 'target' variable in other worlds so I can do this please. Am using 2.4.1 which is my school version btw. The counter code is the same as default but I'll give you it anyway:
import greenfoot.*; // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, Greenfoot and MouseInfo)
import java.awt.Color;
/**
* A Counter class that allows you to display a numerical value on screen.
*
* The Counter is an actor, so you will need to create it, and then add it to
* the world in Greenfoot. If you keep a reference to the Counter then you
* can adjust its value. Here's an example of a world class that
* displays a counter with the number of act cycles that have occurred:
*
* <pre>
* class CountingWorld
* {
* private Counter actCounter;
*
* public CountingWorld()
* {
* super(600, 400, 1);
* actCounter = new Counter("Act Cycles: ");
* addObject(actCounter, 100, 100);
* }
*
* public void act()
* {
* actCounter.setValue(actCounter.getValue() + 1);
* }
* }
* </pre>
